PinnacleHealth Receives Maximum Payment Under Highmark's Pay-for-Performance Program

Harrisburg, Pa.-based PinnacleHealth System will receive the highest maximum payment under Highmark's Quality Blue program, the insurer's pay-for-performance program for hospitals, the two groups announced.

In the last two years, PinnacleHealth has had no ventilator-associated infections in its adult critical care units and has experienced a six percent decrease in readmission rates for patients discharged to skilled nursing facilities.

As part of the decade-old program, members of Highmark's Blue Quality team work with hospitals' quality teams to develop improvement programs and enhance quality improvement efforts.
